What this shows Rfnav's Innovation Score is 46.2/100 (top 21% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Rfnav?

Each dot is one of Rfnav’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Rfnav’s own 24.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 7.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Rfnav's grants concentrate

Rfnav Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Rfnav sits between REyewear Acquisition, Inc. and Riffyn, Inc..

Rfnav's three-year grant acceleration

Rfnav Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
